Editorial Reviews

"I am thrilled that Harvest House, in partnership with Precept Ministries International (one of my favorite ministries), is producing the ESV version of New Inductive Study Bible. This will be a great study Bible that every serious student of the Scriptures will want. I can't wait to get my copy!"Dr. Dennis Rainey, President, FamilyLife

"Congratulations on the publication of the New Inductive Study Bible in the English Standard Version. I find the ESV to be faithful to the text, word by word yet remarkably readable. It is the translation I use for my personal Bible study. Thank you for faithfully providing wonderful resources for the study of God's Word."Dr. Stephen D. Livesay, President, Bryan College

"The English Standard Version and New Inductive Study Bible tools in one volume! What a great combination. May this product bless thousands!"Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author

"On the lookout for the next new thing that will make a significant difference in your life? Here it is! But it's not a new thing; it's the one thing that can transform everything elsethe inductive study of the Word of God. Using the English Standard Version, which for me is the finest English language translation available, the New Inductive Study Bible is an amazing tool for life-changing spiritual growth."Dr. Frank Wright, President & CEO, National Religious Broadcasters

"I welcome The New Inductive Study Bible in the English Standard Version. I have been preaching from this translation for many years, and now with the how-to notes of The New Inductive Study Bible, many will be helped in studying the Bible for themselves in this translation. Nothing can substitute for the personal, individual study of God's Word, and The New Inductive Study Bible motivates readers to do just that."Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, Senior Pastor, The Moody Church

"The combination of the ESV and Precept Ministries' tested and tried study methods offers people who are serious about studying their Bibles (as opposed to just reading them) a priceless opportunity to deepen their love for and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, which were written and preserved for our instruction and encouragement."Stuart Briscoe

"I am delighted that the Arthurs have collaborated on an inductive study Bible with the English Standard Version, which retains the majesty of language with clarity of thought. This is a wonderful resource for both new and lifelong students of God's Word."Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker

"Few have done more to help people understand God's Word for themselves than Kay Arthur and David Arthur. That's why I cannot wait to get my hands on their New Inductive Study Bible. Get it. Read it. Apply it."Dr. James MacDonald, Senior Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel and author of Vertical Church

I was simply looking for a good Bible in the ESV translation with a good print (I have some eye/vision problems, so I need my Bibles to be at least 8.5-9 pt font). I was pleasantly suprised with the ESV New Inductive Study Bible! First of all, it arrived in perfect condition, and quickly. I did order with one day shipping, however, it ship rather quickly. The print is plenty big enough for me to read with ease, and it also has a verse by verse format, so that each verse number is on the far left side, and not in the middle of a paragraph. That feature definitely makes it much easier to identify verses when studying the Scriptures. I did find the few study helps beneficial, though there were not very many. There are honestly only two things that keep me from making this my primary reading and studying Bible. First, the words of Christ are NOT in red, which I do typically prefer. Second, there are no sibject headings. That's not so much a problem while reading/studying, but in church service and/or Bible Studies, when looking up various Scriptures, it can be frustrating unless you're particularly familiar with the passage to know exactly what's going on. I did find the inductive method quite difficult to learn without spending tons of time on learning the process. It does appear to have a glued binding (in the hardback edition, at least). All in all, I did find it to be a good, solid product.

The new batch of NISB's both in the ESV and NASB translations, are not the same quality as the previous prints (done only in the NASB translation): the paper is thinner, leaving more bleed through and making it harder to mark and erase on the page (the whole purpose of this Study Bible), and the margins near the gutter are smaller. Also, the burgundy leather is a much brighter tone than previously, mine is pinkish, which is just not acceptable to me, so I do not use it (got a leatherette grey one instead). If you do not care too much about translation, get an NASB in the previous edition (still available in some websites).

Good notes and cross references. Maps are excellent as are the timelines. They are placed at the perfect spots throughout the text. The commentary is skimpy but would give a good head start to background and context. Margins are narrower than my old NIV single column Bible so I don't write as many notes. Good quality product for $60.
